Working on new Installer for v1.6.0 ...

[DrByte]

The .htaccess testing was added in v1.5.0, and is not unique to v1.6.0.
If you are wanting to discuss the matter further, please use another forum thread for that, since it is off topic.

On the first access into the admin, you are asked to select country and zone.
After selecting Spain I was only offered the zones for the US.

Should the widget be working for the log files?

These should probably be separate threads, especially if you're encountering specific problems with them.

Yes, the dropdown hasn't been made dynamic yet. You're welcome to submit a pull request if you want to tackle that.

It is for me thus far.

Click on the Pencil for the widget settings, then just click on update. I get a popup.

An unknown response was received while processing an ajax call. The action you requested could not be completed.

with a couple of Network Error 500 in the Firebug console and a debug log

I think there needs to be a new forum section for 1.60 comments and bugs as
1) 1.6 is not relevant to most people so posts should not be mixed in with bug reports for the current production code of 1.5x
2) people may try out 1.60 but can't figure out how to report bugs via Github, like me, nor be up to fixing and sumitting pull requests, also like me.

Do you have a github account? (it's free)
If so, I'm pretty sure you should be able to create issues by clicking this: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/issues/new

Is there any provision/hooks in the new installer to allow the use of other languages during installation?

The installer trawls though the defines in the existing admin configure.php file to check all is well (existing files in the right place, existing database connections working etc.).
However I note it uses the first instance of the constant it finds, whether in use or commented out (for whatever development reason).
So, if the commented define is first in line, and it is not correct for that installation, it doesn't check out and so no Upgrade is offered.
Not asking for this oddity to be taken into account, but it caught me out (for a good while).

"Why multiple defines" you ask...well I have the development sites files/all my files synced/duplicated across various pc's so I can work at whichever is convenient and although the local pc's virtual hosts definitions can be identical, their filesystem location may not be, so DIR_FS_CATALOG may vary.
So I have this in the file, so it works in any of them.

$dir1 = 'D:/Documents/some location.../public_html/tienda_155/';
$dir2 = 'D:/My Documents/some other location.../public_html/tienda_155/';
etc...
if ( is_dir($dir1) ) {
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', $dir1);
} elseif ( is_dir($dir2) ) {
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', $dir2);
etc...
}

The installer was picking up $dir1 as the directory.

Still, I've learnt how the installer works now!

Well that certainly might explain why someone recently reported having their DIR_WS_IMAGES path set to something non functional and obscure...

In the context of zc_install, not likely. If it were installer-related, then it would affect other things more broadly.
